Survival ( Part 12 )

Although Anka fainted directly from the pain, she woke up quickly. Her body condition was a mess.

Since she had passed out, Fahimo had been healing in one and he still wasn't done. Her internal organs seemed to be torn and her bones cracked...

'This is what it feels like to be hit by a truck...?'

[ Host ?]

'Yes ?'

[ Want to hear how you got punished by the ability?]

' Not now .'

[Good .]

- You woke up .

Fahim was still using healing magic but spoke with certainty that Anka had woken up.

- Ugh...

'System, buy a ...'

[ The host's condition cannot be repaired by potions .]

'Ok...'

After a while, her body was in a stable state, but she couldn't really move...

While she was unconscious, the dragon took her to her room.

Now she was sitting on her bed with the three watching from the sidelines at her physical condition.

- What happened ?

The elf was a bit agitated…

- An enemy attack?

Anka on the bed shook in denial.

Skoni then asked:

- The side effect of a potion? Maybe you drank more and they aggravated each other.

Anka waved in denial.

'It is so embarrassing to say that your own ability punished you for lying...'

The group didn't wait for an answer when they saw the girl's hesitation. Seeing that her condition wasn't that bad left her timp to rest.

Tomorrow they were going to leave the planet and they had to tidy up. So Anka was left alone in her rock room.

'Now say.'

[ That strange energy reappeared when you lied and sent a wave of energy I think through your entire soul instantly, which hurt your body as well. Then it disappeared.]

'That strange energy again?'

[ And the support system that kept scanning because of the energy wall around the soul came into direct contact with that energy and ... disappeared .]

'Where?'

[ It disappeared . It disintegrated ...]

'Well...it's not bad that we got rid of him but won't there be problems with headquarters?'

[ That's why I'm more shocked. Since it's probably destroyed, HQ should have noticed, but I haven't received any notification from it.]

' Is strange .'

[ Very strange .]

After a few minutes of silence:

'Okay, let's move on. Can you hold the seat of the support system?'

[ Yes .]

'Good, so no loss.'

[ Host , you are actually in bed . You will be in it for a while. Many internal organs were crushed, and you have multiple fractures to various bones.]

'Did 'that' want to kill me for a lie?'

[ It was not fatal, the stacked organs are not vital, and the bones are only fractured. The pain is great, but you would continue to live. ]

' So 'that' didn't want to kill me. In other words, lying will not kill me, as long as I can bear the pain I will be able to lie to the absolutely necessary baits.'

[The host can be instantly healed with a potion but only after the host's soul calms down.]

' Is not my soul still at peace ?'

[ Not . I suggest you sleep. The activity of the brain greatly influences the soul, so you better rest, and the soul will calm down automatically.]

'Sleep ...'

'Good.'

'Intuition tells me it's not a good idea, but I have no choice anyway. '

Anka then went to sleep. Falling asleep was usually difficult for her, but in this state she fell asleep in no time.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Everything was black in front of Anka.

Now she was standing and the floor was like a mirror. The space she was in vast and full of shadows and fog.

The girl does not move.

Her face had not changed.

She just stared straight ahead without expression and took a step.

On the floor like a mirror her figure was blurred, as if she could not be looked at.

Anka continues forward.

Behind her, smoke shadows all rose in the form of chains.

The more she walked, the more appeared. Screams could be heard from those chains, screams of pain, sadness, joy, hatred...

But the girl kept walking.

Then out of the darkness came bloody hands.

The space that before was only darkness and smoke was now turning reddish. Waves of hands reached out to Anka without number.

They looked like thirsty desert travelers who see an oasis...

However, they could not reach the figure of the girl.

The black smoke envelops her protectively, then expands and forms thin coal-black chains. The chains parted and bound every being that could be seen with the naked eye.

The space changes again.

This time the girl advanced in the water, which reached up to her calves. On the bottom of the water there were skeletons of different shapes and sizes, there were a lot of them...

Anka moved forward stepping over the bones, and where she stepped ice spread, so that behind the girl the space became white...

After an unknown amount of time, Anka stopped in front of a throne.

The space had become a dark, lifeless castle, and the present place was the throne room.

On a throne of white bones was a red crown.

The girl looked at the throne and crown, but did nothing. She just leaned against the back of the throne and closed her eyes.

- Anka.

'Is someone calling me?'

- Anka .

' Yes . Anka is my name now...'

- Anka.

'Someone is calling me. '

__________________________________________________________________________________

Then the girl opened her eyes. The sudden light unfortunately blinded her.

'Now it was most likely the next day.'

Anka brought her hand to her eyes to block the light and stood up. To her relief she felt no pain.

Then she looked at the three teammates who were not far away.

The elf and star woman looked relieved, as for the dragon...

'You still can't tell what this guy is thinking....'

- I am fine now .

- It's good that you're fine.

Skoni brought a bowl of some boiled eggs and gave it to the girl.

- Thank you .

While eating calm down and had a conversation with the system.

[While you slept, your soul healed quickly and so did your body.]

'You were right, sleep really was a solution.'

[ After soul repair you got another 'control' point .]

'Oh.'

[ Normally the stats should be recalculated now but I don't know whether to do it or not.]

'Are you afraid of being disintegrated?'

Anka said it to the system as a tease.

[I'm not scared, but it's good to be cautious.]

' Sure .'

[ If the host wants we can start scanning now .]

' You start .'

[ Scanning in progress .]

[ Scan complete.]

[The host is invited to look at the character window.]

[ Host , the ability 'Fast regeneration ( D- ???) has met the development conditions .]

' Do not initiate yet. Wait until we're back on earth.'

[ Good .]

In the meantime, she had finished eating. The group was now in the hall with the stone table having their 'last session'.
